I'm with grant - use one action with a differnt view as needed
function action1($layout = 'list'){
// set data and other stuff
switch ($layout){
case 'table':
$this->render('action1_table');
break;
default:
$this->render('action1_list');
break;
}
}
You could use if...else if there are only two possible options
